How Do I Check a Pay Stub Online?

Many employers are making pay stubs accessible online. If you receive your pay by direct deposit, viewing your pay stub online lets you view your net and gross pay, deductions and personal information. The information on your employer's payroll site is the same as you would receive on a paper pay stub. In most cases, you will be able to view your pay stub days before you get paid. You do not need to download special software to view your pay stub online.

Viewing your pay stub online prior to pay day gives you a chance to make a budget.

Request the payroll site from your employer. Many employers are using sites such as ADP and Paycheck Records to allow employees to view pay stubs.
